Therapy for Trauma, Eating Disorders and Emotional Wellbeing
Supporting anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions—so you can feel more regulated, connected, and at home in your body.
You might be feeling stuck in patterns around food, overwhelmed by emotions, or carrying the weight of past experiences. Therapy can be a space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to move toward a more grounded and meaningful life.
“Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.”
-Brené Brown
Beginning your healing journey takes courage. Being able to tell your story free of fear and shame in a trusting therapeutic relationship is a key component to change, and I believe that stepping into another person's story is an honor.
Sometimes life presents painful challenges and changes that leave us feeling overwhelmed, confused, anxious, depressed, and stuck. Unresolved and unhealed wounds can hinder your ability to move forward and live an embodied, empowered life. I offer a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore those wounds at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
I specialize in trauma-informed treatment, using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy to help process distressing memories and change how trauma is stored in the body and mind. These approaches are evidence-based and effective for reducing symptoms such as intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, and somatic distress. I stay current through ongoing training in trauma treatment modalities to ensure you receive the highest quality care.
In therapy we will:
Build safety and stabilization so you feel grounded and supported.
Identify and process traumatic memories and patterns that limit your wellbeing.
Work with both cognitive and somatic (body-based) interventions to restore regulation and resilience.
Develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and everyday triggers.
Strengthen your sense of agency and connection to your values and goals.
Healing is rarely linear, and it often requires patience, support, and adaptive tools. If you’re ready to begin, I’m here to walk alongside you—honoring your story and supporting you as you reclaim safety, presence, and choice in your life.
My whole heart believes in your ability to heal and restore your sense of safety and connection with others. In fact, research is constantly demonstrating that the brain is malleable, resilient, adaptive and developing throughout the entire lifespan--this amazing, innate ability is called "neuroplasticity". You are not "stuck". There is hope. The work we do in therapy can actually transform the networks in your brain!
At Empower Counseling, my approach to therapy is grounded on the values of safety, trustworthiness, collaboration, and empowerment to enhance your voice and choice in care. I am passionate about helping you tune into your innate ability to experience restoration and healing in all areas of life.
My practice focuses on areas including:
trauma | PTSD | body image issues | eating disorders | relationship issues | anxiety | depression | stress | emotional and spiritual wounds | attachment issues | burnout
Getting Help
The first step to making a change is reaching out. I understand that setting up the first appointment can prompt anxiety and fear. That’s why I will take things at your pace, answer your questions fully and involve you in the entire process.
We will begin with a non-threatening assessment of why you are seeking therapy and take the time to identify your goals before we begin therapy. That’s how we establish trust which, I believe, is essential in our work together.
